Vom 8. September bis 12. September 2025 findet auf dem Campus der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen die zweite DPG-Herbsttagung statt. Die Tagung wird gemeinschaftlich von den folgenden fachlichen Vereinigungen der DPG organisiert:

• Sektion Atome, Moleküle, Quantenoptik und Photonik (SAMOP)
• Sektion Kondensierte Materie (SKM)
• Sektion Materie und Kosmos (SMuK)

100 years ago, Göttingen played a central role in creating quantum physics as we know it today. In 1925 Werner Heisenberg, then an assistant at the Göttingen Institute for Theoretical Physics, published his famous article “Quantum-Theoretical Re-Interpretation of Kinematic and Mechanical Relations”. This article marks the beginning of quantum mechanics and therefore the United Nations, the German Physical Society (DPG) and numerous Physical Societies around the world will celebrate 2025 as the “Year of Quantum Science and Technology”.

The activities of the Quantum Year 2025 in Germany will culminate in an international conference in Göttingen. The meeting will cover the present status and perspectives of all fields of modern physics reigned by quantum mechanics (condensed matter physics, atomic and molecular physics, quantum optics, elementary particle physics, quantum information and computing, and many others) as well as the historical roots of quantum mechanics and conceptual questions that still challenge us today. 

Apart from high profile speakers covering all fields of modern physics there will be contributed sessions, all together creating a unique opportunity to look across the boundaries of individual research topics under the umbrella of quantum physics.
